 take into consideration the ruinous consequences 

 of the course the coal-owners of Durham are pur- 

 suing, in restricting' the vend of coals, when the 

 following resolutions were passed : " That tin's 

 meeting views with alarm the progressive ad- 

 vance of Poverty, of Pauperism, and of Crime, 

 in the county of Durham, and have no hesitation 

 in attributing those evils principally to the exist- 

 ence of a combination and conspiracy denomi- 

 nated ' The Vends,' among the coal-owners and 

 a few of the wealthier ship-owners in this country, 

 wherebyliis majesty's customs and revenue are 

 injured, commerce retarded, employment for the 

 poor diminished, wages depreciated, and poor 

 rates increased, engendering crime, and calcu- 

 lated to excite riot and insubordination to the 

 laws." A petition to Parliament, conveying the 

 same sentiments, was prepared, and received up-
